Free Crochet Flowery Hexagon Tutorial

14/05/2016 by Dada Filed Under: Free crochet patterns 27 Comments

Free crochet flowery hexagon tutorial
As I promised in my last post, I prepared for you the free pattern and step by step tutorial for this flowery hexagon. It’s very simple crochet project and so easy to make. I think that this pattern would be a perfect project for an advanced beginner who has mastered the basic stitches. For this hexagon I used 100% cotton yarn 125m/50gr called “Tango” by St. George, and 3.5 mm crochet hook.

The tutorial is written using U.S. crochet terms.
Stitches we will use:
Magic ring
Single crochet – sc
Double crochet – dc
Slip stitch – sl st
Chain stitch – ch
Special stitches:
Popcorn stitch
Cluster (dc3tog)-double crochet three together
So, let’s get started!

We’ll start with a magic ring. Make 6 sc in the ring.
Pull the yarn tail and close the ring.

Insert the needle back, in the last dc you made – through the back loop only, from front to back, and pull it through. Weave in yarn end.
The join is invisible. Isn’t it?

And now you have it! The flowery hexagon! You can use it for making blankets, cushions, scarfs, shawls, ponchos, bags, even rugs (which I consider making). The possibilities are endless. Let your imagination be creative…

My First Hexagon Blanket

I haven’t posted anything on my blog for a while, and it may seem that I’ve neglected my blog and work, but believe me, I work very hard to create new patterns and to offer you some (hope to be) beautiful stuff.

I finished this blanket probably a month ago, but immediately after the completion, I’ve got an idea for another blanket, and threw myself into that new project, which isn’t finished yet, and was in the beginning pretty challenging, I must say. All is good now. after many, many trials and errors, I finally told myself: “Dragana, just relax, it doesn’t have at all to be perfect”. (because as you may already know “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good” to quote Voltaire), and soon after that, I created the design I was very satisfied with and continued working on the project.

What can I say about this blanket? First, I love the colors. This winter and the beginning of spring were very rainy and gloomy and I really enjoyed working with these bright colors. Second, this is my first hexagon blanket. I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to try something different from squares. I finally did, and I’m very happy with how it turned out.

The blanket measures approximately 72 x 80 cm (28″ x 31.5″), and is composed of 116 hexagons! Can you believe that? My last blanket, The English Garden Baby Blanket has only 20 squares, and my Norwegian Forest Blanket only 16. I used my beloved 100% cotton yarn “Tango” 125m/50g from St. George (manufacturer from Serbia who unfortunately doesn’t sell on-line). I used my trusty 3.5 mm crochet hook (USA – size 4).

What else can I say about this blanket? oh, yes, I decided to boost the popularity of hexagons a little (because they deserve it), so I’m going to make free, very detailed step-by-step photo tutorial on how to make these flowery hexagons… Hope you will try them out…
The hexagon step-by-step tutorial is now available here.

When I finished the blanket, I thought about the border, and given that I wanted very simple edge, in accordance with the blanket, which wouldn’t switch attention from the blanket, I came up with this border. It’s very simple and easy to make.

Row 1: 1 hdc in each stitch, when you reach the left corner of each square make 2 hdc in chain space before Popcorn, 2 dc in chain space after Popcorn (and before the joint of 2 squares), 2 dc in chain space after the joint (and before Popcorn), 2 hdc in chain space after Popcorn (in corners of the blanket: 3 dc in ch-3 space)
Row 2 : 1 dc in each stitch (in corners of the blanket: dc, ch-3, dc in the second dc of the group of 3 dc)

Row 3 : 1 dc in each dc (in corners of the blanket: dc, ch-3, dc in ch-3 space)
Row 4: dc in next 2 dc, Popcorn-6 in next dc; Repeat that along the blanket (in corners: dc, ch-3, dc in ch-3 space)
Row 5  & 6: 1 dc in each stitch (in corners make dc, ch-3, dc in ch-3 space)
Row 7: 1 sc in each dc ( in corners make 3 sc in ch-3 space)
